Instructions

1
Finely chop the stuffed meat.
2
Mix the minced meat with salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water with chopped green onions and ginger.
3
Wash the eggplant.
4
Cut the eggplant into small cubes.
5
Rub with salt until soft.
6
Squeeze out the water.
7
Blanch the cowpeas and then chop them finely (you can omit the cowpeas or replace them with chopped green onions).
8
Eggplant, yardlong beans, and minced garlic are mixed into the ground meat to make the filling.
9
Mix flour and yeast, add water to form a smooth dough, cover with a damp cloth, and let it ferment in a warm place.
10
Take out the well-fermented dough and knead it on the board to release the air.
11
Divide into small doses.
12
Roll it into small round pieces.
13
Place the eggplant and meat filling on top.
14
Wrap into a willow leaf-shaped bun.
15
Place it in the steamer basket for a second fermentation. When the bun dough becomes bigger and lighter, steam it over cold water. After the water boils and produces steam, turn to medium heat and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it steam with residual heat for 5 minutes before opening the lid.

Eggplant filling is also very delicious.
